only GOD knows how long i will live. and “HE ain’t talking to me”. stay posted… save your prayers for the younger folks with our damn disease!! and their kids…

My husband will be 82 this month. Diagnosed with CMML October 2022, given 6 months. He's currently in Laughlin NV, having a great time. He's had a couple of bumps but today is good. He's just started Hydrea. Does not want to do stronger chemo.
